The distribution of organisms across an ecosystem is typically uneven, as they thrive in areas with favorable biotic and abiotic factors. Line or belt transects are used to measure distribution, and systematic sampling reveals the impact of abiotic factors on species distribution.
La distribución de los organismos en un ecosistema suele ser desigual, ya que prosperan en áreas con factores bióticos y abióticos favorables. Las transectas de línea o cinturón se utilizan para medir la distribución, y el muestreo sistemático revela el impacto de los factores abióticos en la distribución de las especies.

Back | distribution of organisms usually uneven throughout ecosystem, due to organisms residing in areas with favorible biotic/abiotic factors to inc survival rate, measure distribution using belt/line transect, advantage of using systematic sampling is that it shows effect of diff abiotic factors on distribution of species |
